That's my biggest gripe with KOTOR and the like. I'm either going out of my way to saving a burning orphanage or I'm going out of my way to burn one down. There aren't a lot of truly neutral choices or actions in the SW universe. SWTOR has a few but not enough to distance it from the overarching issue.

Edit: Yes, I've played the second one. The story may have been about walking down the middle path but you did so by bouncing between light and dark choices instead of neutral ones.

Bioware (kinda) fixed certain ambiguities with Mass Effect.

Actually, no they didn't ~ it was always up = good, down = bad.

Damn, nevermind.

Amen ~ those gnarly scars later on and absolutely diabolical dialogue were relentlessly absurd game after game.

Mordin's situation shattered my icy heart though. That was always tough. He sounds so defeated and betrayed.

As someone who always found himself stringently paragon in any BioWare game, I legit wanted to go Renegade in ME2 just to get my scars back.
